As Senior Automation Expert, Christian Brigger is your new contact for automation solutions. Read more about him in the interview.
How was your start with us?
Fast-paced, but good. (laughs) I was thrown in at the deep end from the start and was already on site with several clients in the first week. I prefer that to spending days reading up at the PC. The internal atmosphere is also very pleasant and technically oriented. In addition, it's fun to work with products that are in demand on the market.
What did you do before?
I originally trained as an automation technician and worked internationally. After several technical and business administration further trainings, I moved into sales. Before joining Robotec I was responsible for digitization at a sensor manufacturer.
How did you come to Robotec?
Special-purpose machine construction has always fascinated me. It is a demanding and therefore very interesting field. You don't just sell individual components, you develop complex solutions. In this context Robotec had long been a name I knew — one of the major names in robot-based automation.
What are you particularly looking forward to?
I'm particularly looking forward to customer contact and to designing a system together with customers that delivers benefits and adds value for them.
Lastly: What do you do in your free time?
I have a house, so there's always something to do. I find a good balance in gardening, currently with the construction of a new swimming pond. I'm also passionate about shooting sports (300 metres) and, depending on the season, about building carnival floats and skiing.
Christian, welcome to the Robotec Team ! We are very much looking forward to working with you!
